About Paul (He/Him/His)

About Me

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor providing online therapy for adults across Pennsylvania.

I’ve been working in the counseling field for over twenty years, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, identity, and life transitions. My experience includes working with a wide range of populations, including autism, developmental disabilities, and individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.

But my path into this work wasn’t only professional—it was personal.

My own experiences with anxiety and depression shaped how I understand what it means to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself. Because of that, I approach therapy with a strong sense of empathy and respect for how complex these experiences can be.

What it’s like to work with me

Clients often come to me feeling:

  • Mentally overloaded or stuck in their thoughts
  • Unsure of themselves or their direction
  • Tired of trying to manage things on their own

In our work together, I focus on creating a space that feels:

  • Grounded and non-judgmental
  • Conversational and collaborative
  • Focused on helping you better understand yourself

My goal isn’t to “fix” you—it’s to help you make sense of your experiences in a way that leads to real, sustainable change.

My background

I hold a Master of Science degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). I have also completed advanced graduate study in counseling at the University of Scranton and hold certifications in trauma and telebehavioral health.

Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including:

  • Mental health counseling
  • Vocational rehabilitation
  • Crisis intervention
  • Work with individuals with autism and developmental disabilities

This range of experience allows me to bring both perspective and flexibility into the work we do together.

A more personal note

I’m particularly drawn to working with individuals who feel different, overwhelmed, or like they’ve had to adapt to others for a long time.

If that resonates with you, therapy can be a place where you don’t have to do that.

My Values

Confidentiality

Your privacy is of the utmost importance to me. It is also protected by HIPPA. I use a secure, HIPPA-compliant platform for payments, scheduling, texting, and telehealth sessions. If you have any questions about security and privacy, then please do not hesitate to ask.

Acceptance

Feeling accepted is one of, if not the most important part of effective therapy. I strive to create an environment of acceptance and non-judgment. It is my belief that healing comes from feeling accepted and accepting yourself.

Compassion

Self-compassion and other compassion are part of my core beliefs, both for myself and for my clients. Like acceptance, compassion promotes healing and a higher tolerance for life's challenges.
